We LOVE granola.
Yes, we can find gluten-free rolled oats in many places, and we've made our own granola which were delicious.
But this granola from the Co-operative is superb :) We especially love tropical fruit version but sadly we cannot find it anymore! Anyways, these are absolutely delicious so it's definitely worth giving it a try :)

As David drinks more green tea than me - perhaps 5 cups a day!, we never fail to have plenty of teabags for green tea:)
We've tried some from supermarkets, but Twinings' pure green tea seems always the best so far in the UK!

But lately I'm in love with this decaffeinated Tick Tock's Organic Rooibos Green Tea, which relaxes me so much :)

Other cupboard food

Spamhahaha
Well, I like Spam though David as well as some others seem they don't fancy it much :D But, spam is coeliac-friendly as it says "Gluten Free" on its label :D Usually as I can't use everything in one go, I cut in slices, wrap them separately - like 4 slices together × 3, and freeze them :) You should defrost them completely or boil before cooking!

Wasabi

I've seen some people on the Internet asking whether it's gluten-free or not, but seems it is! Also, David was fine when he tried - except his burning tongue as it was too potent for him :D

But you can enjoy it for sushi!, or mix with soy sauce and make delicious spicy sauce on meat or salad :)

Potatoes & Onions

We always store some baby potatoes & small onions :) I feel safe when we have some of them in our little onion bag! Because when our fridge is almost empty, we can just make baked potatoes or German-style fried potatoes :)

These are lovely frozen fish fingers! :) Apart from having them with chips, there is another way to enjoy :) You can put them together with lettuce, cucumber, mayonnaise, seaweed & some sesame seeds on seasoned rice to make a non-raw-fish sushi rolls! :)

As many of the supermarket sausages contain gluten, we often get these to enjoy without worrying about coeliac disease :) But lately, we've been enjoying getting some of the few delicious gluten-free raw sausages - and of course, I freeze them as well :D

Basil

At last but not least, here's our Mr. Basil! He moved here with us from the co-op, and is growing very well by our kitchen window :D Since he grows quickly, I wash & dry, then freeze him in a zipper for later use :) *

* Perhaps I'm a rebel by freezing him as usually fresh soft herbs are not supposed to be frozen as it gets brown - like directed by bbcgoodfood.com, but you know, I just don't want to waste such precious things, and seems like it's still alright cooking with frozen basil anyways :)

Hooo :D So, these are the GF food stored in our kitchen at the moment!

Choosing what to get can often be difficult and worrisome when you or your partner, family members, or friends, have coeliac disease or allergies - I'm sure many of you might have already known this - but using some of the online food directories might help you ease your tension of choosing which products to get :)
